Anyone still here from the old QB45 days?

[frognik79]

Dave's not here... :)
Were you the guy that used to always help us noobs out with our programming problems?
Maybe it was someone else but back then I remember there was some guy that basically knew everything.
Edit: Maybe that was Mike.

I doubt that it was me. I really only started learning advanced techniques when FreeBASIC came to be. I'm the guy who made Pacenstein. lol

Yes, I wrote many a programs in QB 4.5; mostly custom business software.
A picture of my old USING QUICKBASIC book, published by Que; is displayed in an article at: http://cybossbasic.blogspot.com/2014/10 ... uters.html

I used to get around most limitations with interrupts :)

Back then I was known as Nuclear Frognik. (eww)
I remember "hacking" the old-old qb45 forum and making myself a mod :)\

Hey frognik, fomrally know as nuclear frognik. You probably dont remember me much, but we played knight online a while which you hacked every so often. After words you messed around with hacking something like ragnorak or some mmo like that. Started with an R i think anyways. Just remembered your name and I id look you up on the internets. I dont even know if you still use this site.

For some reason, after all these years, I felt nostalgic and found my way back here.

When are you going to fix NeoBASIC you lazy bum

As an 80's kid, in the early 90's my dad bought our first computer, an AST Bravo 386SX 20Mhz 2MB RAM and 80MB HD. It came with MS-DOS, I think a version before 6.22 and Windows 3.0.

I spent ages trying to uncover its secrets, learning that .exe's were executable programs, I found Qbasic.exe. Its use was unknown to me but in the help file I could see all sorts of arcane stuff, you could click on (keywords) and then it went to a different page.

One day, a friend of my father passed by and told us that it was used to program the computer and that we should stay clear of it. You don't tell that to a kid Not many months later I was making my own juvenile text based games for my friends and family.

I started decades ago with the old GW-BASIC. Eventually I upgraded to QB. I didn't participate in the community back then though. Eventually I started dabbling in C and Fortran, but found my way back to freebasic about five years ago.

In the late 80s I bought my first 2nd hand PC, with a 286@12 Mhz, 1MB(!) of RAM and a 10MB harddisk with MS_DOS installed. Pretty soon I found that "qbasic.exe" and was keen about the incredible speed of my new "byte racer" in comparison with my old C64.
